Let’s hope for some second half adjustments. This game is our opportunity to turn things around. Getting bowl eligible starts with this game.

I’ll have one of what you’re drinking.

Will and should the pictures/videos be brought up during the broadcast? 

I wouldn't be surprised and No, IMO.

Lane Kiffin?  Seems to be some chatter out there.

Then it’s gonna be a loooooong 3-5 more years.

He was good at PSU. He was good with the Texans.  Why do you think this?

Bielema has never been a guy I cared much for but you cannot argue with results - the game wt Ill will be interesting.  I wonder if he'd have an interest and if so WHY?

Trying to get us to page 300

Bielema at IL is interesting.   He’s clearly a good B1G coach and jumping to another conference school would be pretty unprecedented, but isn’t his ceiling somewhat limited in Champaign?

We could have worse problems than a fanbase being excited for a coach that had won 3 conference games in a row 

It wouldn’t be a problem.  It would be freaking great.  This is me poking fun at this board’s hot and cold takes one perceived NU coaching candidates.  

Imagine the MJ for HC hype train if Nebraska pulls the upset.

This is the question that I am sure many are asking yourselves right now:  How do we root for our team even if we think that Mickey might not be the best fit as a full time head coach?  Not saying I don't want him or saying that I do want him.  The thing is are we setting ourselves and the kids up for a big letdown if Mickey isn't retained and ends up winning 5 or 6 games?  Who would want to coach this team and do it having to retain Mickey or Busch?  Almost seems like a lose, lose situation to some points.  I hope for the kids sake they make a bowl game.  I hope that they get what they deserve in the long run.  Just asking a serious but not serious question. 

 

I can only speak for myself.  
 

There’s, fan me.  
 

and, there’s 

realistic, me. 
 

They frequently disagree. 

I agree that good coaching will allow recruiting to come.   We haven’t had good all around coaching since. ………I don’t even know.

If you think that Leipold is not a good enough recruiter, you are slapping our resources and money in the face.  He has recruited decent being in only his second season at KU and really his first season of having his recruits since he started late after recruiting was done already when hired.  The issue is going to be if Mickey wins two more games and he doesn't get the job.  No one will want this job if they have to retain the interim guy who the players like alot and have played hard for since Frosty was shown the door.  Basically Leipold can coach, if you win games that improves recruiting on its own.  I wouldn't sleep on him just yet.  But again, even he wouldn't want this gig if he has to retain the interim guy that wins 4 games.

You think a new coach will be named by mid-November or Trev will have his mind made up on his guy with an informal agreement done by mid-November?

The latter.

I really haven't entertained the mickey talk too much, because it seems unlikely, but say we go 6-6 or 7-5. That would mean Mickey went 5-3 or 6-2 in the B1G. All I hear in regards to the coaching search is, we need someone that can win in the B1G...wouldn't that vault him above a Lance Leipold or Matt Campbell who are going to 4-5 5-4, 6-3 type coaches in the big 12 this year?

I would say so, but I just don’t see it happening.  With the teams remaining on the schedule, I’d be shocked if we won 2 more. Plus I think Trev will have someone by mid November. 

My goodness these refs suck. 

Good thing we finally have a punter 

I’ve never not given a f#&% about NASCAR more than right now. 

I have about 2-3 coaches who I would really like to get for the Nebraska job.  Then when I listen to MJ and I equally like the fact that he's in the HC role now and I don't want that to end.  Like MJ says, it comes down to W & L.  Time will tell.

ASU would be a BAD choice for Scott.   If the rumors are true about excess drinking/partying being a factor in his lack of focus in Lincoln, it'll be 10x worse for him at ASU.

Isn’t his wife from AZ?  Maybe there’s a reason for him to want to be down there. 

I’d bet Wisconsin is looking at Aranda.  I would imagine his name is coming up with coaching searches more than Leonhard.  This firing now, points towards giving them a chance to appeal to “Coach X” before someone else (NU maybe) grabs him.

The frustrating thing is, he's looking right at 4 as he starts coming towards the line to blitz.  He then leaves him and tries to block 20 that he has no chance to get to.  Grant is in good position to block 20, but by the time he realizes 4 is coming through the line, it's too late to adjust.  This isn't physical talent.  It's a total mental breakdown of one player.  

I partially agree.  He clearly doesn’t know his assignment and that he needs to stick to it.  But he does struggle on the edge, with the physical part too.  Would he be a better guard?

This was easily the worst play of the game for us. Barnhart should have taken the inside guy and should have known Grant was there to pick up the outside. He was never going to get to the outside guy. 
 

 

Instead of having a right tackle, we may be better off having a two back set with Rhamir as pass pro.  Only 50% kidding.  I hate to bag on the kid but on pass plays, 54 is a liability.

Just because Frost didn’t turn out to be a good coach, doesn’t mean that Mike Riley didn’t deserve to be fired when he was. 

My point was “fans “ firing coaches.  Kind of like so the last shiny toy on the shelf doesn’t get bought by someone else.

Sounds like Wisky fans didn’t want to risk losing Jim Leohnard to another school, so they did a pre-emotive firing of Chryst with the hopes that he succeeds in the interim and he can take the full time job. 

Sorta like when NU fans fired Mike Reilly so we didn’t lose out on Frost going to another school.  That worked out well for us.  

Wisconsin’s D seems to have taken a few steps back this season.   Maybe it’s because the offense sucks, but I’m not sold on Leonhard.   So, naturally I hope they retain them.  

I only got to see the 2nd half.  But for a player who didn't appear to have gotten any better,  didn't look like Reimer easily had his best game of the year?  Maybe he was dinged up and the bye helped, but dang...he was ball'n
